2022 Fasting, Prayer, & Bible Reading Plans
NewStart 50-Day Discipleship
Journey and Reading Plan
January 3 – February 21, 2022
We will read and study this guide as a church.
A “disciple” is a “learner,” a follower of Jesus. We don’t primarily learn in order to know
things about Jesus, but we learn in order to ACT as Jesus would act. As disciples, we
literally aim to become like Jesus in every way that we can.
Here’s what you’ll find on each day of this journey:
A daily Bible reading designed to give you a great overview of the Bible in your first
50 days as a disciple of Jesus.
A daily Meditation Question, something to mull over in the back of your mind as you
go through your day.
A daily journal space to write down your thoughts, things you’re thankful for, prayer
needs, or questions.
A daily link to an encouraging, short video that explains that day’s Bible reading.
(No video is over 5 minutes.)
21-Day Food Fast
January 9 – 29
Daniel Fast (fruit, veggies, water, black coffee, 100% fruit juice).
21 Day Financial Fast
January 9 – 29
The purpose of the fast is to eliminate spending on absolutely everything that is not essential. For
three weeks you must refrain from buying anything that is not a necessity.
Necessities: Food, Medicine, and Monthly Bills
Refrain from going to the mall or retail stores to shop for clothes, shoes, jewelry, nonessential house-
hold items, or other stuff that creates a drag on your financial life and clutters your home.
No restaurant meals — fast food or otherwise. This includes buying breakfast or lunch at work. You
can’t stop for coffee. Make it at home instead. During the fast, forget going out to the movies.
